From Live Science
Neurologist Dr. Lisa Shulman describes the impact of grief and trauma on the brain in an article in Live Science. According to the article, repeated stimulation of the limbic system, a part of the brain involved in the body's fight-or-flight response, can leave a person hypervigilant and highly sensitized to perceived threat.

Therapy is one way to work with these stress responses. Over time, working with a therapist may help calm the body's stress reactions and ease reactivity. PPG offers therapy for adults, children, couples, and families, including support with grief and trauma.
